The report of the death of Henry NJ.
Stanley, the African explorer, is not
generally credited. The distance from
the place where this death is reported
to have taken place, to the town from
which the dispatch was sent is 1000
miles and through the toughest possible
country, therefore it is not thought a
messenger could have reached the place
at the time mentioned. Henry NJ. Stan
lev was born near Denbigh, Wales, in
1910. At the age of three he was sent
to the poor house at st. Asaph, where
he remained ten years and received a
good education. At the age of fifteen
he shipped to New Orleans as q cabin
boy. There he was employed by a
merchant named Stanley, who after
words adopted him. At the outbrake of
the civil war he enlisted in the con.
federate army, was captured, and sub
sequently enlisted in the United States
navy. In 1868 he accompanied the
British expedition to Abyssinia, as cor
respondent of the New York Herald,
In 1S41 he was commissioned by James
Gordon Bennett to find DR.. Livingston,
He found him, and reached England in
1872. He was presented by Queen Vic.
toria with a gold snuff-box set with
diamonds. After the death of DIR. Liv'
ingston he was engaged in African
explorations.

The .sun Do Move"

The Rev. John Jasper says he has
preached his famous .'Sin do move" SER
mon about I'D times. 81 preached it
first" he sa.t, lin 1873. Since then I
have had offess from all over this country
and from London. Paris and other places
to preach ii; but ! refused 'em all cause /
didn't think it would be right to leave nv
people. One man offered me $4OO to 20 to
London and preach the sermon. He even
said he would pay me the money first, and
that wouldn't have to walk step be-
tween here and Europe, and wouldn't have
TO walk a step after 4 got there" He Is
now very old. but hale and vigorous.
Soon after first delivered this sermon
here in Richmond, y he says, II went to
Washington, BaltiRlsre and Philadelphia,
and wkensI came back great revival was
gciag on. and one day I baptized 3O1
people without coming out of the water.
THAT laid me up for awhile. Never had
but three attacks of sickness in my life.
Since was sick last December my appe-
tito has not been as good as it used to be.
les, I'm in mighty good health for an old
man like RE. New York Tribune.

The sun was already high in a cloudless

immense rock flung in the valley, rose
hsre and yellow, with here and there on

An Ex.Conductor on Accidents.

Louisville Courier-Journal: Will YOU
permit an cx-conductor of ten years
experience to say word relative to
railway accidents? Within the past
two years strikes have been epidemic:
SO have railway accidents. The reason
is obvious. AS soon as the regular
crews leave the trains new, mex
perienced and utterly incompetent
men, picked up any and everywhere,
are thus often placed in the hands of
tramps. The law should demand
that no train shall leave Il terminal
station except manned by IA competent
crew; no man should be permitted to
serve as a trainman until he has passed
a satisfactory examination showing that
he could run train by the timetable;
that he knows what trains are to meet
him; what trains are following him.
and when and where they meet and
pass. He should be compelled to carry
watch, and it should mark the correct
time. He should know Just how far he
is ahead of IA train following and how
far behind the train time ahead of
him. The law should require always
ten minutes between trains. and every
man on the train should be held liable
for any encroachment on this rule.
Tuesday nights horror (gloss it over
as money and influence may) was the
result of gross, criminal carelessness.
A passenger train, loaded with human
beings, hauled by an engine with a
broken eccentric, and less than three
minutes in her rear n heavy freight
laundering down grade thirty miles
an hour in fog, not trainman out,
not break set. The wonder is, not
that the accident happened, but that it
was not even more disastrous. The
freight train that mangled and killed
and wounded over a score of men,
women and children, should have been
ten minutes behind the passenger, and
have come down that grade with every
trainman out on top and the train under
control. AS trains are run now, all
people who travel can do is to make
their wills, buy an accident ticket, and
start prepared to meet their end.

Perfection is attained in DR.. Sage's
Cataarh Remedy.


San Francisco Call: Captain Williams,
of the ship ST. Paul, lying at Green
street wharf, is the possessor of valu-
able setter. The dog has lived with the
captains family in the east for some
years, and is most intelligent animal.
Being detected in some sheep-worrying
operations back east, the dog fell into
disgrace, and as punishment was sent
to sea on the st. Paul. The captain had
a nice house built for him on the deck,
abaft the mainmast. Since arriving in
port, every night the dog has been fas-
tened in his kennel with a collar at
tached to chain. Every evening on
going on board it has been Captain
pat the dog before going to his
berth. A few nights ago on going
to the kennel, as usual, the
found that dog was there rs usual. but
it did not feel to the touch like the
family setter and had no collar. On
procuring a light he found that a
strange dog occupied the house. He
left the dog there and retired. Next
morning he found his own dog in the
kennel as usual with its collar on, look
ing as innocent as if it had been there
all night. In the evening the captain
kept watch, and shortly after nightfall
the strange dog came on board again
and went to the kennel, the setter, with
its paws, slipped off its collar and
scootcd over the gangplank for run
ashore, the strange dog taking
his place. He returned next morning at
daybreak, slipped on his collar and was
all ready to be patted when the skipper
came out for his early coffee. Capt. Will
Jams then cinched an extra hole in the
collar and awaited developments. Just
when the electric light was lit
on Telegraph hill the strange dog
came on board again and, going to the
kennel prepared to take his place as
usual. The setter could not get his
collar Off and had to remain. The dogs.
who were watched, had an animated
conversation in canine, Volapuk, or
some other language, and then the set
ter retired to rest, while the strange
dog wended its way on shore, ponder
ing on mans inhumanity TO dogs and

Sharks Not Dangerous.

A southern sailor tolls the following:
THE greatest danger to be feared in
the presence of shark is the paralysis
of fear. Sharks, unless very hungry,
will not attack man while in motion
They swim around with longing eyes
waiting for one moment when their
victims shall remain quiet, and then
make their onslaught On the coast OF
OF Africa the natives fight sharks fear
lessly. They enter the ocean naked,
having first oiled their bodies that they
may slide through the water easily.
Their only weapon is stout stick
about two feet in length, sharp
ened at both ends. The water
is so clear that they can see for
hundreds of feet around. When a shark
swims toward them they wait until the
moment he turns on his back, and as he
opens his jaws to seize them they thrust
the stick crosswise in his mouth and
swim Off. The sharks mouth being
held open by the stick, he is soon
drowned, when the natives tow him
ashore and feast upon his flesh.
For my part do not believe that sharks
are native to American waters. i have
heard old seamen say that they camo
from Africa, following into the wake OF
the first slavers that came to this coun-
try. Those vessels were always so
overcrowded that many died on the
voyage, and were thrown overheard.
The sharks fed upon their dead bodies
until they reached this side OF tho
ocean"
